PUBLIC POLICIES AND LAW EN
FORCEMENT
Rev Elderkln In his sermon Sunday
night missed a great opportunity to
fix responsibility for opon gambling
but he lost sight of this main point In
his eager pursuit of the police
In the slums of London where tho
police are a power for good the toughs
even tho respectable people mal
and even I0pectable I
nd attacked
Is
lest approval when a policeman
tacked They delight In Booing the
officers pummeled The London po
lice say this mania is contagious
Now Rov Elderkin Is hot from the
slums of London though ho has ben
In London but at some time and some
where ho ba been inoculatod with the
gorms of tho antipolice mania
ideals
Ho is a young man of high
but he lacks contact with tho world
He expects too much from the police
ho offers too many excuses for those
who are the superiors of tho police
he falls to fx responsibility at the
source of authority
cV Elderkin has been In Ogden
long enough to know that when a
mayor Is elected the people inquire as
to the policy he is to pursue In regard
to those evils of which Mr Eldorkln
complains In fact Mr Elderkin was a
member of a convention which exacted
from the present mayor certain prom
ises In the control or suppression ot
certain evils In case of election Why
did Mr Eldorkin seek those promises
If he did not recognize In the mayor
tho responsible head of government
and why did he exact those obligations
J the enforcing or failure to enforce
the ordinances against those evils did
not involve a question of public pol I
icy
I
The mayor of this city receives a
command from the people to carry out
certain policies For his derelictions
the people
he must answer back to
mls
Now why should the chief of police orI
tho officer on his beat presume to over
ride the authority of the mayor and
proceed to declare what shall be the
policy of the city government in rela
tion to saloons or the social evil and
thus place himself above his superior
and above those who must answer
anl
back to the people for the sins of omis
sion commission why should a po
lice force be other than responsive
to the will of those in authority how
can discipline bo maintained I orders
from the crown head are not to be
Implicitly obeyed This rule applies
t not only a police force but to the
army of the United States with the
President of the United States at Its
head What does Tennyson say of the
The Charge of the Light Brigade
Theirs not to make reply
Theirs not to reason why
Theirs but to do and die
Ter is no reason for the reverend
gentleman attacking oven the mayor
or city council for failure to enforce
the law I is a wellknown fact that
laws concerning the liquor and kindred
questions can only bo enforced where
the people arc earnestly in favor of
such enforcement Let Mr Elderkin
educate the people to his ideas and
when he has created a large and
healthy sentiment in favor of his
Ideals then he has but to convince the
mayor and city council of that fact and
the police department will receive in
structions which will cause action
favorable t the ordinances the people
want enforced

RAILROAD BUSINESS
The interstate commerce cdmmlB
slon In their annual report to con
gress note that the temporary finan
cial depression from which the coun
try is now emerging resulted in the
dlmiuntion of railway revenues con
siderably below the high point reached
In 1907 the banner year in American
railroad history in respect of gross and
net earnings as well as volume of
traffic
It can not be questioned says the
commissioners that in several in
stances the necessity for placing rail
road properties In the hands of re
ceivers was wholly or partially due to
the serious and unexpected decrease
in earnings The volume ot railroad
traffic quickly reflects the business
condition of the country and it is
natural therefore that lines serving
for the most part the great manufac
turing regions should have suffered
more severely than those serving agri
cultural communities In view how
ever of widely circulated reports that
the loss inflicted Upon the railroads
was so severe as to warrant universal
advances In the rates or reduction in
wages or both it is Interesting to
compare the revenues for the fiscal
year ending June 1908 with those
for several previous years which al
though below the level of 1907 were
at the time considered highly satis
factory In respect of revenues and
volume of traffic The recent change
in accounting methods may affect to
some extent the accuracy ot these
comparisons tho expense account for I
1908 having been kept in accordance
with our rules include as n matter
of accounting a charge for deprecia
tion although the amount so charged
ban not in all crises been actually ex
pended but it Is believed that the va
riations due to that cause would not
materially alter the general result
From a summary of the monthly re
ports of the commission for 1908 it
appears that the gross earnings of all
railroads for that
riras year 2424640637
art 164464941 loss than tho gross I
earnings for 1907 yet the 1908 earn
ings arc 98875470 in excess of the
Q
t
earnings fo 1906 and 3421G8231 in
excesB of those for 1906 while the gross
earnings per mile for 1908 although
734 lees than for 1907 arc 189 and
1061 greater than tho gross earnings
for 1906 and 1905 roapectlvcly By
subtracting operating expenses from
gross earnings It appears that the net
earnings for 1908 wore 111051006
lest than for 1907 and 59349138 less
than for 1906 but wore 37C58G04 In
excess of those for 1905 and that tho
net earnings per mile for 1908 wero
492 less than in 1907 344 lesB than
In 190G But 15 more than in 1905 I
Taxes are not included In operating
expenses and therefore In each ol i
the years named tho actual Tel reve I
DUO would be less than the figures
given by the amount of taxes
Those figures indicate that what
ever may havo been the fact in in
dividual cases the railroads of the
country as a whole did not suffer sd
severely in comparison with years or
normal traffic and business conditions
as may have generally been supposed
ONE PROOF OF VICTORY
Take up a bound volume of a news
paper worth while In a year from u
decade to two decades gone and scan
It through Then if the uplift of the
human racer Interests you says the
Butte Interountaln go and celebrate
There is scarcely a branch of Ameri
can affairs in which wo have not pro
gressed rapidly Strange to relate
only our literature and art appears
to have retrograded Our stage Is in
ferior to the old stage and the stuff wo
read Is not so good Judging from tho
moral standpoint
But In religion in economics in
politics In businesswhat an ad
vance Twenty years ago men were
enduring persecution for advocacy ot
doctrines now upon the statute books
of state and nation Twenty years 1
ago a dormant church had not con
ceived reforms upon which Catholic
and protqsumt If unofficially today
cooperate Twenty years ago the
standard of national honesty was so
low that to write the truth about It
before the generation concerned has
passed away would cause a storm ot
opposition As in everything else
the Americans have leaped forward
along moral and humanitarian lines
I is good to remember this There
aro times when overwhelmed by the
dally chronology of crime and vice
excusable despair seizes the boldest
But the facts are plain and indubitable
Never had a patriot in any land
more cause for rejoicing It Is not
too much to hope that those problems
which have overturned other republics
may be solved by this without blood
shed and that we may leave to pos
terity an inspiring example of the
power of high inspirations

OUR NAVAL WASTE
An article from the February Mc
Clures on Our Navy on the Land
is loaded with facts Here are a couple
of paragraphs
We have twenty navy yardsnot
counting other naval stations appor
tioned between ten states quite equal
ly divde along 6000 miles of sea
coast from Portsmouth N H to
Pugot Sound Wash Five of them
including tho best plant of all
havent the principal thing a navy yard
Is built for that Is a drydock big
enough to hold the battleships we aro
now contemplating Two of them have
one fine dock apiece which no battle
ship can reaoh atany tide and three
of them one costly dock apiece cut
from the sea by shoal water which
battleships can only cross at certain
times in the tide and which if they
wore waterlogged in time of war they
could not cross at all
I war should break out tomorrow
there would not bo one place in the
United Statos where n fleet of modern
I ships could bo repaired after a naval
battle The fortunes ot a great war
might depend on this fact
This is a severe indictment but
only a part of the case Yards are
built at n cost of millions of dollars
which do not do a thousand dollars
worth of work per year Yards are lo
cated In outoftheway places Ma
chine shops in those yards are so man
aged as to cost from two to five times
what they would under private con
trol All told Mr Turner the writer
of the article in question estimates
that at least 40000000 is annually
wasted in the upkeep of our navy I
which Is onethird of the total appropriation

GOVERNMENT RECLAMATION 1
As was expected by all who knew
anything about Intensive farming un I
der Irrigation In districts remote from
large markets the settlers on the Irrigated
gated lands in the government irriga
tion projects are unable to make pay
ments according to contract and many
of thorn will lose their homes unless
granted extension of time which con
gress will doubtless do says the San
Francisco Chronicle I will have to
I was of course to be expected that
Homo would fail The inexperienced
men who were lured by the prospect
of free land with nothing to pay
but the cost of Irrigating I and ten
years time without interest and
thinking i a snap tumbled over
each other to pick it up were met by
practical difficulties which had not oc
curred to them I they had tho
means to build somo kind of a house
and obtain the necessary tools and I
stock they thought themselves per
I fectly safe in taking up the land and
undertaking to meet all the payments
for tho ditches a they came duo
That Is to say they ran In debt for the
whole farm which cost them from
25 to 50 n aero for the bare land
without a house or a fence
A thrifty man with n working fam
ily In the vicinity of n largo city could
make thoso payments with ease I
will not usually be possible for settlers
in what is virtually an oasis in a
desert to do anything ot the kind
for they will have no nearby market
for the products of Intensive cultiva
tion
There are many practical difficulties
t be encountered besides the lack of
nearby markets The government
brings the water to the land but the
settler has to do the rest He must
level the land and put In his distribut
ing system He must provide build
ings and fences whore building ma
terial Is dear The roads tschooJ
houses and churches must be built
All these cost money and It is seldom
that the settler will be able to bring
all his land Into cultivation for some
years but his payments toward the ir
rigating system are spread over his
whole acreage In time all these dis
tricts will become wealthy and pros
found best
porous Each will be
adapted to some special line of agri
culture for whose products markets
will be found but in the opening up ot
a new country by poor men no way
is likely to be found whereby the hard
ships of pioneering can be escaped
The proposal to give twenty years
time without Interest Is in full accord
with the general extravagance which
has made the United States government
mont the laughing stock of the world
It is foolish because unnecessary and
unjust to those who pay cash The
gift of the interest is nothing more or
less than a dole from tho public treas
ury The sensible way is that adopted I
by tho British government In Ireland I
whore fifty years time Is given with
deferred payments
3 per cent or loss on
mont The settler on land costing
50 would then have to pay but 1 an
acre a year plus a few cents for In
terest That they can do because
those who fail as some will are sure
to find purchasers under these terms
and those who arc able can get out of
debt as soon as they please In Aus
tralia they do not give so long time
and 5 per cent Interest Is required
There however the government
builds the house and barn and will
even provide stock and tools and will
pay the settler wages for a short time I
for putting Improvements on his own I
land But the government takes three
precautions which we omit first it
does such things only on tracts within
easy reach of large markets second
the settler must come with credentials
for sobrietY Industry and ordinary ca
pacity and occupy tho land for at least i
six months on probation before title
Is given third a skilled foreman is
provided for each district and so long
as the settler Is In debt ho must cul
tivate as directed by the foreman I
The Union Labor government of South
Australia thus shows remarkable bus
iness sense and statesmanship I re
quires the poor man to pay for all
that he gets including the land as
well a the Irrigation works If irrigat
ed but it makes the requirements
such that tho Industrious poor man
can meet them

CLOSING OF
THEATERS
SUNDAY
THEME OF SERMON AT METHO
DIST CHURCH LAST EVENING
I
Church and Home Stand for Highest
Idc IcGlve Them Their
Legal Chance
At tho Methodist church last even
ing Rev U W McCreery In advocat
ing tho Sunday closing of theaters
said In part
Tho wise man of old said that righto
ousness exalted a nation but that sin
was a curse to any people That is
that the highest things are the things
that make for progress Ideals lead
onward Dissatisfaction with the pres
ent attainments and desire for better
things are progressive The one who
is always saying that everything is
all right and that evil will exist no
matter what we may do to the con
trary would find kindred arguments
to his In the discussion on the slavery
I was then said that It would be Im
possible to stop slavery that men had
always had slavos and always would
Wo get along without slaves now and
we will get along without some other
Institutions In the near future There
must always bo better plans to Im
prove society and lessen evil and crime
New better laws are a result of n
better spirit in mans dealing with
man A century and a quarter ago
there were 223 capital crimes now I
is almost Impossible to meet out the
death penalty t murderers That
shows progress Prisons show a bet
ter and kindlier treatment of the in
mates Wo hare made progress
Shakespeare as ho wrote it and as we
permit I compares It to
te difference between a sew
er and a clear mountain spring
There Is hardly as much vulgarity In
a low dive as was considered right
and necessary In his day Why
There has been some righteousness at
work exalting the nations
But what makes righteousness
Righteousness is but another name for
Tightness that is right character
When one has the right character
then he will be an agent for righteous
ness and will bo one who is exalting
a nation Lyman Abbott says
The Jewish Commonwealth Is tho
oldest democracy In the world wher
ever the doctrine of divine manhood I
has gone sooner or later revolution I
against autocracy baa followed and
where the reverse doctrine has pre
vailed of the essential Indignity and
unworth 6f man there despotism has
maintained Itself successfully and gen
erally without even serious resis
tance
Real liberty exists where tho best
manhood prevails Moro is needed to
make a Republic than the name In
government Mexico Is more of a
monarchy than Germany The South
American republics would be amusing
were their failures not so serious
Cuba Is again to try to toddle in self
government It may be that Uncle
Sam will be called In again In a few
years I is quite fortunate that he is
willing and able to help What is the
trouble There Is not enough char
acter among the peoples to make a re
public and In Germany there Is too
much to permit a real autocracy The
test of the revolution In Russia Is the
character development of the people
The people will win if they have char
acter enough Tho Woslean revival
prevented a revolution in England
similar to tho one in France Tho
moral elevation due to tho work of
VesJeystded that nation off the dan
When the children of Israel
ger chidren Isrel wero
led out of Egypt they were a demo
cracy but when they turned to Idola
try their rulers became tyrants and
they were led away into captivity All
these things go to show that the forces
which make for righteousness should
be given the fullest opportunity to do
their work of uplift
Now tho two Institutions that make
for righteousness are the home and
the church The nation Is dependant
upon them and the homo in n sense is
dependant upon the church By the
church I mean the institutional ex
pression of tho nations worship Wo
are a religious people and our religious
life is expressed in the church n our
political life is expressed In the gov
ernment and the educational life Is
expressed In the school house The
church has been given much of tho
structural work with the young The
instruction of the young in morals is
tho work of the home but the home
Is using tho church to aid It in this
matter and so hand in hand they have
stood for tho hotter things for man
hood
The state has recognized the church
and tho part It plays by giving it op
portunity This is done by giving
man ono day in seven from his work
that he may worship and touch his
family with a fuller influence On
should be free from
Sunday man work
long enough to spend several hours
with his family and the wife and moth
er should plan her work so that with
out the weariness of evorydays du
ties she may sit down quiet with
her own In the peace and rest ot
such a time tho dearest joys or
memory are hidden I however tho
mother works just as hard and long
and the father If ho havo tho day oft
spend it away hunting or shooting or
In any manner away from his family
how great Is the loss Into this op
portunity for rest there comes the
real recreation of worship and Chris
tian fellowship that the church affords
With It moulding for higher things
making men bettor and women hap
pier its opportunity should be made
even greater by shutting the family
up to such Influences the home or
the church provide People should bo
compelled to stay at home much of
tho time on Sunday The children see
too little of their parents and the par
ents too little ot the children Now
looking to the preservation of the
home and the church Influence the
state has passed a law looking to the
elimination of all the business that It
is possible to omit Tho Judge of toe
juvenile court feeling that the Sunday
theater Is a detriment has petitioned
the council to act to stol them It tho
situation Is such to demand action for
the protection or our youth then all
should second tho efforts of Judge
G nnol and arouso tho council to ac
I tion ton tionWhat
I What is the relation of tho Sunday
theater to tho problem Iu what way
r
docs I effect the work of the church
and the home Much In every way
First Tho Sunday theater hinders
FrstTh teator
the opportunity of the home and tho
church There Is more or less foolish
ness on the amusement question any
way Whenever a chance given peo
ple to have a good time they usually
are eager to accept It So when the
theater opens on Sunday night
there arc a great many people who
attend that would either stay at home
or go visiting in a neighbors home or
attend church They do not realize
situation would not
the sItuaton or many give
their support to these places on Sun
day I hardly seems possible that
there Is any considerable number of
workers that are not free on week
days at least a hour between two and
eleven p m Tho night worker has
his afternoon opportunity and the Jay
worker his evening chance Those
who could not possibly go during the
week are those who toil from noon to
midnight A comparative few The
appeal that any considerable number
cannot go during the week Is a mis
taken one 1 there Is any one who
prefers to go to the theaters and
shows on Sunday rather than to stay
at home visit n friends home or at
tend church it might be well for him
to consider that the majority has to
do with that and the majority has said
by state statute that there shall not
be any Sunday theaters Inasmuch as
the Influences that truly make for the
strength of character are hindered In
their influences by the Sunday thea
ter the same should be closed I
Second As there Isa law against
the Sunday theater the management
of the same are lawbreakers as are
their patrons That may seem to bo
a severe statement but in what other
way could it be expressed This law
breaking gradually develops a disre
spect for law so that even one sworn
to enforce the law will stand up and
publicly decjare that he will take hit
family and go to the Sunday night
show whenever he pleases I seems
very strange that there Is any law j
upon the statute book which Is now
eagerly obeyed Such disrespect for
law is being created by the authori
I I ties of our city who permit and aid In
the open breaking of the law Let the
law be fully enforced I It is a wise
law that fact will be easily revealed
I the opposite Is true let us repeal the
same
ThirdThe Sunday theater Is a
knocker to Ogdon for certain people
The are the class of people who are
looking for a good place in which to
raise a family Such seek a commun
ity In which their efforts to have their
children choose the best Ideals en
couraged by social conditions To
such fifty saloons open gambling a
cribbed alley and a disregarded Sab
bath are not arguments In favor of a
city Ogdens opportunity is In creat
ing here a hOle town the best place
in which to raise a family in all tho
west Establish this reputation and
I there will be a steady stream of the
most desirable people in tile world
coming to It to settle and Invest
Dont knock with a low Ideal Lift
high the standard Righteousness ex
alts a nation Give It an opportunity
and it will build up to even greater
attractiveness our beautiful city

spondents and accusing his wife of all
sorts of wrongdoing William E Far
rer Is now suing for a divorce from
her Mrs Phoebe Farrer filed an ac
tion for divorce from him some time
ago but it was dismissed on Saturday
at her own request
There are a few things in the con
duct of his wife to which Farrer has
he says objected strenuously These
Include the entertaining of young men
of questionable character in the house
until midnight and sometimes later
and every night In the week He
particularly objected to this because
he lost his sleep keeping an eye on
them
One afternoon In February he says
he found Mr Farrer alone with a
strange man In one of their rooms
Ho asked a few questions at which
he says she flew into a passion and
cursed him roundly for half a hour
following up the cursing with an as
sault and administering a beating to
him He names Shelley Curtis James
Woods Blah Pitts and Reuben Brooks
as a few of the young men whom his
wife entertained

HAWAII WANTS AMERICAN
I FARMERS
I
Federal Government Helping Territory
to Smooth the Way for Develop
I ment of Rich Resources
i
Honolulu Hawaii Jan 24 Hawaii
I has a place for many American farm
ers There are also openings for va
I rious lines of manufactures but at
tradesmen and artisans are
I present trdesmen ad artsans are
not In domarid these fields being well
covered by merchants already estab
I lished and by Chinese and Japanese
population These latter races together
gether with the native population and
a good percentage of Portuguese and
Spanish settlers also furnishing the
manual labor supply of the territory
The farmers are needed for devel
oping a widely diversified list of agri
cultural and horticultural products for
which the Islands ate eminently adapt
ed The reason that this development
has not taken place long ago is that
almost all of the comparatively small
white population capable of doing I
has for half a century or more been
interested either directly or Indirectly
to the exclusion of everything else In
the sugar Industry The mercantile
business existing was largely depen
dent on King Sugar It Is true that
thore are a number of large cattle
ranches and for upward of twenty
years coffee has been successfully pro
duced under not altogether favorable
conditions but It Is within the time
since annexation that a small colony of
California settlers demonstrated in the
face of general skepticism the wonder
ful adaptability of Hawaiian soil for I
growing pineapples nnd In six or
seven years havo built up a business I
that Is a healthy second to the great j
sugar business itself
Secretary of the Interior Garfield
F H Newell director of the United
States reclamation service and other I
federal officials who haye made care
ful personal investigation of the re
sources of the territory during the
year just past have unqualifiedly en
dorsed the opinion that Hawaii offers
great opportunities for American agriculturists
culturists During the nine years
since establishment of the United I
States agricultural experiment station I
In Honolulu has done groat work In
demonstrating the practicability of
many lines of agricultural endeavor I
and the Hawaii college of agriculture
and mechanic arts a government en
dowed institution now in the first
year of Its working existence promises
much along the same Jlnc
Although widely differing elevations
and great variance of rainfall give the
Islands a wide diversity of climate
tho territory not only does not furnish
the mainland with anything to speak
of aside from sugar pineapples and
a tow bananas but falls for tho great
er part in supplying Its own markets
with a great variety of products which
can be readily grown here Over 3
000000 worth of food products were
imported last year the greater part of
which might have been locally sup
plied as well a a surplus for export
For example vegetables potatoes
onions beans cabbage etc were ship
ped In to the value of over 200000
poultry and eggs to the amount of
over 45000 ham and bacon 70000
dairy products 300000 oranges 46
000 Hay to the amount o over 188
000 worth was Imported as well a a
great deal of other forage which prob
ably could not be produced here read
ily
The experiment station has been
urging the growing of all of the above
products and proving by actual ex
periment under normal conditions that
they can be made successes but as yet
there are few people in a position to
undertake the work Besides the
many delicious fruits of the islands
which without atten
grow practically aten
tion at the present time grapes sweet
potatoes green corn and othor veget
ables can bo produced practically any
months In the year and should find
ready and profitable market on the
mainland during tile soason when such
crops are not available there except
through hot houses
Stops are now being taken to secure
for the territory a business agenta
practical agriculturist and business
man to encourage local farmers aid
them in selecting crops and In solving
the problems of transportation and
marketing The outlook Is considered
very bright
